Condo glut weighs on home prices
The Freeman
|October 21, 2025
Sluggish demand and oversupply of condominium units in the market have dampened the growth in prices of residential properties in the National Capital Region (NCR), analysts said, which could persist until yearend as the glut remains.
-
Joey Roi H. Bondoc, director and head of research at Colliers Philippines, said weak demand for condominium units in the middle-income segment led to the slow growth of housing prices in NCR.
“I think we will attribute that to (the) slower take-up of unsold condominium units in the secondary, ready-for-occupancy (RFO) market,” he told BusinessWorld in a phone interview.
He said about 31,000 condominium units remain unsold in the RFO market, with nearly 60% under the mid-income segment or those worth P3.6 million to P12 million per unit.
